Web 1.0 Web 1.0 is a retronym that refers to

the state of the World Wide Web, and any website design style used before the advent of the Web 2.0 phenomenon. Web 1.0 began with the release of the www to the public in 1993, and is the general term that has been created to describe the Web before the "bursting of the Dot-com bubble" in 2001.

Web 2.0 Web 2.0 is commonly associated with web

applications that facilitate interactive systemic biases, interoperability, user-centered design, and developing the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as consumers of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (prosumers) are limited to the active viewing of content that they created and controlled.
